The answer

If semen is discharged unintentionally by a fasting person, such as during sleep (wet dream), or if it is discharged while awake without any action from him, but rather of its own accord (due to illness), then his fast is valid and not broken. This discharge generally does not necessitate (ritual bath) except in the case of a wet dream, which does necessitate ghusl. However, if one intentionally discharges semen through masturbation or by repeatedly looking at stimulating things, this breaks the fast and is considered a grave sin. As for (pre-seminal fluid) and wady (thick white discharge after urination), they do not invalidate the fast nor do they necessitate ghusl.
